For the first few years of marriage, the couple lived in several different locations until finally settling in Levering, where they purchased a farm and made their home. She was a woman who was not afraid of taking on a task. Not only did she raise her family with great love and affection, but she took on any and every task that is necessary to maintain the family farm.

Irene enjoyed quilting and gardening. She was also a wonderful baker and cook who always added a little love to everything she made. She was a member of Victory Baptist Church.

Irene is survived by her children, Janet (Dick) Darrow of Jackson, Jack (Sandy) Kerridge of Big Rapids, Theresa (Marvin) Pietraszewski of Belleville, Larry (Anna) Kerridge of Elwood, Ill.; son-in-law, Bob Peck, of Walloon Lake; 27 grandchildren; 51 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren; a brother, Ralph (Lucy) Hoffman; sister, Lenora Hoogerhyde; sisters-in-law, Phyllis Hoffman and Louise Hoffman; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was also preceded in death by her daughters, Norma Peck and Shirley Dill, and by one grandson and one great-grandson as well as several brothers and sisters.
